Holding a Negligent Driver Responsible for Accident Injuries and Fatalities

When a negligent driver causes an accident resulting in injuries or fatalities, it is crucial to hold them accountable to ensure justice for the victims and their families. Those injured and families of a deceased loved one have the right to seek compensation for damages caused by the accident. Filing a personal injury or wrongful death claim can help provide financial relief and reinforce the importance of responsible driving. 

Seeking Compensation After a Wrongful Death

When a loved one loses their life in a head-on crash in Rancho Cordova caused by another party’s negligence, their spouse and children have the right to file a wrongful death claim. If the decedent does not have immediate family, their siblings or parents may take legal action. The family can seek justice and recover financial losses associated with the tragedy by filing a claim. Possible compensation includes:

• Costs for funeral and burial services can be recovered through a wrongful death claim. 
• Lost income is recoverable, including the wages the deceased would have earned until their expected retirement age. 
• A spouse or domestic partner may claim compensation for losing companionship, emotional support, care, and consortium. 
• Children of the deceased may recover damages for the loss of parental guidance, nurturing, and love. 
• Families can be compensated for lost household assistance, including cooking, cleaning, childcare, auto maintenance, and lawn care that the decedent used to perform. 

Recovering Damages Through a Personal Injury Claim for a Deadly Injury Crash

A personal injury claim can help recover financial damages for those injured in a head-on crash. Compensation may include coverage for all medical expenses, lost income due to an inability to work, and financial remuneration for pain and suffering. Consulting with an experienced injury lawyer ensures a comprehensive understanding of the damages that may be claimed in a personal injury case.
